Abstract:
An image sensor includes a first pixel and a second pixel. The first pixel includes a first light sensitive element, a first light filter, and a first microlens. The second pixel is disposed adjacent to the first pixel and includes a second light sensitive element, a second light filter, and a second microlens. The first pixel is configured to direct at least some of the light received at the first microlens to the second light sensitive element of the second pixel to increase optical crosstalk so as to reduce color aliasing.
